Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 262: Really Hiding

"His Highness Chu Ning asked me about the secret base of our dynasty. I guess your real intention is not the bar, right?"

Baili Xing looked at Chu Ning calmly: "Put yourself in my shoes. If Your Highness the King of Chu was me, would you still keep these eight craftsmen in the city?"

After these words were spoken, Zhao Yu behind Chu Ning looked a little ugly.

If those eight craftsmen had been transferred to the Great Yan Dynasty, this would be bad news for the Great Chu.

The power of the repeating crossbow is too great. Once it is obtained by other dynasties, it will definitely enhance the opponent's strength.

If it were normal times, the Yan Dynasty would have to go, after all, there was not much hatred between the Chu and the Yan.

But now, Chu Ning has captured Baili Xing and designed to kill so many Dayan soldiers. The Dayan Dynasty must hate Dayan to the core.

After obtaining the method of making the repeating crossbow, the first target of the Yan Dynasty was the Chu!

However, Chu Ning laughed loudly upon hearing this: "If it were someone else, I would naturally think so, but Prime Minister Baili has never acted according to common sense. I think the eight craftsmen are still in the city!"

Baili Xing narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

I thought my words were perfect, but I didn't expect Chu Ning still didn't believe it.

However, Baili Xing did not admit it immediately, and suddenly asked, "I wonder why His Royal Highness the King of Chu thinks so?"

Chu Ning grinned and said, "It's very simple. If you want to make so many crossbows, you must have a craftsman to guide you!

There are two hundred people under your command, plus the two hundred people arranged here in advance, which makes about four hundred people in total.

If you want to make 400 crossbows, you must have the eight craftsmen on site to guide the work, so you can’t send them back to Dayan.”

Baili Xing was silenced by these words.

I never thought that the Great Chu Dynasty would produce such a powerful prince. It seems that my worries were right!

Everyone thought that Chu Ning's victory over the Zhao Dynasty and the extermination of 200,000 Zhao troops were due to luck.

But looking at Chu Ning's current appearance, it is not luck, it is clearly strength.

If this person is not eliminated, he will definitely be a major threat to the Great Yan Dynasty in the future!

Even if I die today, I will never let Chu Ning have an easy time!

Thinking of this, Baili Xing suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness the King of Chu is indeed wise. Yes, those eight people are indeed in the city!"

Chu Ning chuckled: "Since Prime Minister Baili dares to admit it, I guess he is ready to exchange their address for some conditions?"

Baili Xing looked at Chu Ning deeply and said, "Your Highness the King of Chu is indeed amazing, but don't worry, my request is very simple. I just want Your Highness the King of Chu to personally lead people to rescue them!"

Ok?

Chu Ning raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

If Baili Xing had made other requests, even some excessive ones, he would have understood.

But this request is too simple and too strange.

Why must I personally lead people to rescue them?

While thinking, Zhao Yu snorted coldly: "For such a small matter, how can Your Highness go there in person? I can do it for you!"

But Baili Xing shook his head and chuckled: “Such a great credit, I only want to give it to His Royal Highness the King of Chu. If you agree, I will tell you the address now!

If you don’t agree, the whereabouts of those eight people will remain a mystery forever, and once the news of my arrest gets out, the eight of them will definitely not live to see tomorrow.”

Although his tone was calm, there was a threat in his words.

Zhao Yu's face darkened, and he was about to refute, but Chu Ning suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him: "General Zhao, there is no need to be angry. Prime Minister Baili's request is not excessive!"

He turned to look at Baili Xing and chuckled, "You just want me to find those eight people myself, make great contributions, and arouse the jealousy of the Crown Prince and other princes, so that you can become their target."

I have to say, this old guy Baili Xing is really a coward!

Even when death is imminent, you are still thinking about how to trick me.

But so what?

The King will follow!

Baili Xing's face changed slightly, and he stared at Chu Ning, feeling extremely surprised.

It would be fine if Chu Ning could see through his plan, but why was he still so confident?

Isn’t Chu Ning afraid of being targeted by the Crown Prince and other princes?

However, this is the only thing I can do now. If I miss this opportunity, I will never have it again.

Thinking of this, Baili Xing said calmly: "I don't understand what the King of Chu is saying. If His Royal Highness the King of Chu agrees to my request, I will tell you the address right now."

"Say it!"

Chu Ning put his hands behind his back, looking victorious: "I always keep my word, and I will not go back on my promises."

Baili Xing nodded slightly and suddenly approached Chu Ning. Zhao Yu's face changed slightly, but Chu Ning took the initiative to step forward.

Although Chu Ning knew that his martial arts skills were not good enough, he did not believe that Baili Xing was an octogenarian and he did not believe that the other party could do anything to him.

Sure enough, after Baili Xing approached, he whispered an address.

Chu Ning laughed out loud after hearing this. "Prime Minister Baili really picked a good place. General Zhao, you keep an eye on them. I will take people over to rescue the eight craftsmen!"

After saying this, Chu Ning bowed to Princess Changping and Yang Xingye as a greeting, and then left quickly.

After all, we must rescue the eight craftsmen as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the news of the accident on Baili Xing's side gets out, there is no guarantee that the other party will not hide these eight people.

But what Chu Ning didn't know was that after he left, Baili Xing turned around and looked at Princess Changping.

"I never thought that Princess Changping would join forces with the King of Chu. It's not unfair that I lost this time!"

Princess Changping sneered: "Since you have lost, then just admit your guilt and accept your punishment!"

Unexpectedly, Baili Xing suddenly burst into laughter: "Princess Changping, Princess Changping, you are still too naive. Even if I plotted against you and killed Princess Gaoping, the Emperor of Great Chu would never dare to kill me!"

"is it?"

Princess Changping's eyes turned cold, and a hint of cruelty flashed across them: "Why do you think so?"

Baili Xing said calmly: "It's very simple, the Emperor of Great Chu doesn't dare to offend His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty at this moment, because the power of Great Chu is weak at the moment and it is simply unable to support a war!

According to my estimation, the Great Chu Emperor will only hand me over to the Great Zhou Empress. As for the punishment you mentioned, Princess Changping, the Great Chu Emperor dares not do it. He is afraid that I cannot bear it with my physical condition!"

At this point, Baili Xing looked at Princess Changping with contempt: "So, even if I have plotted against you, you can't do anything to me at this moment."

Princess Changping, who already had a bad temper, was immediately furious upon hearing this. She swung the Fang Tian Hua Ji in her hand, pointed the tip of the halberd at Baili Xing, and shouted angrily:

"How dare you, old man, look down on me like this? The Emperor of Great Chu doesn't dare to kill you, but I do!"

After he finished speaking, Fang Tian Huaji turned into a residual shadow and rushed out.

A look of relief emerged on Baili Xing's face, and he closed his eyes and prepared to die.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Yu snorted coldly, spun the spear in his hand, and blocked the Fang Tian Huaji.

"Princess Changping, you can't kill him!"

"Go away!"

Princess Changping was furious, and she swung her Fang Tian Hua Ji and charged towards Baili Xing again.

Zhao Yu's face looked a little ugly, and he immediately stood in front of Baili Xing with a gun.

The soldiers on both sides were dumbfounded. It was not right to help, nor was it right not to help.

For a moment, the scene was deadlocked.

When Baili Xing saw this scene, a sneer appeared on his face.

This is exactly what he wants!
